JOLIET - Career Advancement Coach Lauren Milligan will present ATS or Bust! from 10 a.m. to noon on Tuesday, Oct. 23, at the Workforce Center of Will County, 2400 Glenwood Ave.

ATS, or Applicant Tracking Systems, are the online systems used by businesses to screen employment applications.

"Up to 75 percent of resumes are never seen by human eyes," said Susan Flessner, WCWC Manager. "Lauren will teach our job seekers what to do and what to avoid when applying for a job online to maximize their chances of getting an interview."

Milligan, owner and head resume expert of ResuMAYDAY, teaches workshops and classes at colleges and business groups and, according to her bio, has contributed to career-related features in the national media, including CNN, Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.
